    K, wasn't sure where to put this, so my bad if it's in the wrong place :p

    What do you guys recommend as a good/inexpensive company that I can buy a .net domain from and get a very small amount of space for? I mean, I usually don't see anything less than 20MB, but I would be fine with 5MB of space if the price was lower.

    Any suggestions?

    Well, I don't normally do this, but if all you want is 5 megs of space you could use free services like angelfire and geocities. Although I Hate both of those sites. :) There are other free services around too.

    It might also be worth checking with your ISP. Many ISP give you something like 5-50MB of space with your account, usually this space doesn't have ads on it either so you may be suprised to find you already pay for what you're looking for.

    If you're going for something a little more professional with scripting and database abilities, you could check out powweb.com. It's $7.77 US a month, which is cheap for all the features they offer. If you just need plain old webspace with no scripting or database abilities you could find cheaper.

    Also, just so you know, You can always buy domain names separate, usually if bought on there own you'll get them for about 15$ US a year. If bought in bulk or on promotions they can be as cheap as 5$ a year.

    Currently I am looking at a domain name from Godaddy because it is only around $8 a year.. I have had some webspace with them before, and quite frankly, they suck at life, or atleast running that type of stuff.

    Though there isn't really much you can screw up on a web domain.

    I need something without ads because this is going to be a business page.. And I would like to/need to incorporate I believe PHP... I guess that is what is used on the Dell website where you select computer parts and it instantly calculates the price (i.e. adds or subtracts the amount you pick). I made a nice-looking form in Frontpage, but I can't get the submit button to work using Frontpage and I don't know anything about programming languages, so I am clueless.
